Havana Social Bangkok

Havana Social Bangkok highlights

The reason why it’s such a secret is there is no signage or front door. Instead, there is just a mock-retro phone booth with a ‘Telefono’ sign. You’ll need to call Havana Social for the entry code. Step inside the phone booth, dial the secret code, and a false door in the back of the phone booth swings open.

Just about everything at Havana Social Bangkok is suave and sophisticated. The vintage couches and carefully mismatched furniture are arranged for large groups to sit back and soak up the environment, while a line of tall stools up at the bar is good for couples or solo drinkers who want to check out the atmosphere. A smoking room is located on the 2nd floor.

Good to know about Havana Social Bangkok

The best time to check out Havana Social Bangkok is on Friday and Saturday nights when a live band plays Cuban jazz, followed by a DJ spinning up-tempo nu-disco, funk and the odd afro-Cuban tune. The cocktail menu starts from around 280 baht, with rum-based mixes taking center stage. The bar’s classic Cuba Libre is an obvious choice, spruced up with Angostura bitters, Coca-Cola ice cubes, and a chunky kaffir lime wedge.
